+Game-Of-Life Rules:
+
+ 1.
+ Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours
+ dies, as if caused by under-population.
+ 2.
+ Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives
+ on to the next generation.
+ 3.
+ Any live cell with more than three live neighbours
+ dies, as if by over-population.
+ 4.
+ Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours be-
+ comes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
